The Alaska Reference Database originated as the standalone Alaska Fire Effects Reference Database, a ProCite reference database maintained by former BLM-Alaska Fire Service Fire Ecologist Randi Jandt. It was expanded under a Joint Fire Science Program grant for the FIREHouse project (The Northwest and Alaska Fire Research Clearinghouse). It is now maintained by the Alaska Fire Science Consortium and FRAMES, and is hosted through the FRAMES Resource Catalog. The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Many parts of interior Alaska have a fire-dominated environment. It has been recognized that there are many beneficial effects of fire; consequently, the past fire control philosophy has been altered. Prescribed and controlled burning are being considered under the new approach…

Field data on soil thermal moisture regimes over a winter season are studied with emphasis on the measurement of soil pore pressures and changes in the soil moisture content. Soil tension measurements in advance of the freezing front were made on two sites, one a burned site and…

In 1957, circular plots in a burnt clear-felled area, in old-growth Western Hemlock and Sitka Spruce and in an adjacent unburnt area, were sown after burning, first by hand and again, 3 months later, from the air. Results were assessed from initial seedling establishment (from…

Lichen forage ingestion rates of free-roaming caribou herds in northern Alaska during 1963-1970 were estimated by applying a two-component, eight parameter cesium-137 kinetics model to measured fallout 137Cs concentrations in lichen and caribou. Estimates for winter equilibrium…

A study was made of buried seeds in 62 cylindrical cores of litter and soil (10 cm diameter X 10 cm depth) collected from 10 sites, on which fires had occurred 42-180 years previously, on upland soil with a vegetation of lichen woodland and a tree canopy of Picea mariana, P.…

Forest succession on north slopes in interior Alaska results in the development of sphagnum bogs on sites formerly occupied by productive forest. This process is one of gradual deterioration of site associated with the accumulation of moss layers on the forest floor. Advancing…

Preliminary biological studies of arctic Scolytidae were carried out during a scientific expedition of northwestern Alaska. Eight scolytid species were found associated with Picea glauca and a significant range extension for Dendroctonus punctatus was noted. Ips borealis host…

Agricultural burning in an intensively farmed region within Manitoba's pothole district is shown to affect the nesting activities of ground-nesting ducks. All species, except Blue-winged Teal (Anas discors), preferred unburned nest cover, although success was higher in burned…

An intense fire occurring on a previously established study area in August 1969 reduced the subsequent spring breeding density of spruce grouse (Canachites canadensis) by about 60 percent. At least 35 percent of the adults using the burn in spring-summer 1970 were birds that…

Feeding trials from Nov. 1962 through June 1963, in an outdoor enclosure in Alaska, showed that red squirrels (Tamiasciurus hudsonicus) can survive for 3 weeks and possibly more, solely on Picea glauca seed, consuming ca. 144 cones/day/squirrel, but they thrive poorly on P.…

Burning experiments conducted in the labortory indicated a 25-64 per cent loss of nitrogen from the forest floor at temperatures of 300-700ºC. Burning increased the nitrogen concentration of the residual material, but the total amount of nitrogen decreased. This may explain the…
